I actually enjoyed this nice little Disney production. The movie is based on a true story about a group of soldiers in Vietnam that are assigned to transport an elephant to a tiny Vietnamese village. This is one of the few movies set in the Vietnam war that is not emotionally intense and/or has a huge amount of blood and guts. But this is a cute little film with Danny Glover excellent in the lead role, and excellent support provided by Ray Liotta, Denis Leary, and Doug E. Doug. Doug E. Doug who is excellent all around as a performer adds a certain spark to this film that makes it very funny, but generally speaking everything he is in is quite good, and this is no exception. This is a movie that is definitely worth seeing.
